Cometic Ford 385 Series .036in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.500in Bore

When you're rebuilding the top end of your Ford 385 series engine, you need a head gasket that can handle the pressure. This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) gasket is built for that job. It's designed to provide maximum sealing performance, especially for engines that are making more power than stock. You get the gasket itself, ready to install right out of the box, with no need for extra sealants.

Cometic builds these gaskets with multiple layers of stainless steel for increased strength and resistance to corrosion. The outer layers are coated with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle tough sealing environments and different surface finishes. This construction is ideal whether you're mating aluminum heads to an aluminum block or to a cast iron block, as it can withstand the forces created by dissimilar metals. The center layer is stainless steel and can be varied in thickness to meet specific engine build requirements; in this case, it's set to a compressed operating thickness of 0.036 inches with a 4.500-inch bore diameter.

This gasket fits a wide range of Ford and Lincoln vehicles from the late 60s through the mid-90s, including models like the Ford F-250 and Lincoln Continental. It's a solid option for anyone looking for reliable sealing in a performance or rebuilt engine.
